If you're like me, your GR bookshelf is nearly un-manageable to browse for books added in a certain month. To make it easier, I'd recommend that you download your GR library as an excel file and use your filtering options for this.
1. Go to "My Books"
2. Under the heading "Tools", you'll find "Import and export" (scroll down to around mid-page; it's on your left hand side, underneath your shelf list)
3. Click "Export Library" -it may take some time for GR to generate this so just wait a bit
4. When your file is ready, a link will show up under "Export Library" noting "Your export from [date] - [time]". Click this link & save in desired folder when prompted.
Looking at your Excel file:
1. Go to "Data" tab and click, "Filter" (You'll see tabs in each column headers with little triangles)
2. Click on the tab for "Date Added" (Column P)
3. In the Dialog box for "Search (All)", type in the month you're looking at (do NOT use numerical values) & click OK. Your Data will be sorted to show only books added in that month for all years.

I added a nice handful of books last January... remains to be seen how many I actually read but at least I know there are options I'm looking forward to reading!
January 12 books1. No Ordinary Sound: A Melody Classic - published 01.01.2016 - **** 02.01.2025
2. The Dark Knight: Batman Crashes the Black Masquerade: DC Super Heroes - published 01.01.2013 - ****02.01.2025
3. Flatfoot Fox and the Case of the Missing Eye - published 01.01.1990 - *** 06.01.2025
4. De nachtegaal - published 29.01.2015 *** 16.01.2025
5. If tomorrow comes - published 01.1985
6. Xenophobe's Guide to the germans - publ jan 1994
February: 11 books + 6 rollover
1. Terms and conditions - pub feb 2022
March: 10 books + 16 rollover
1. Ugly - added march 2019
2. Ma'am darling - added march 2020
3. No rest for Biggles - pub march 1956
Good start to the year with 8 books read. Short of the goal but at least rollover is single digit, yeah? Goal for February will be 11 books + 4 rollover = 15 books.
7 for me for january - which I guess is right on target
Mod
Let's hope March is better! Most if not all of my LOST books are "March" so I hope I get to tackle quite a few!
Mod
I did rework it to include more Kindle books, which would help with library holds.
February was abysmal for me, with only 1 book counting for this challenge... Hopefully, march goes better.
Not quite as good as January with only 5 in February... Hopefully I can do better in March: goal 10 + 10 rollover = 20. Looks daunting but keeping end in site where the goals start going down!
February was great for me I made all 12 but I am still behind for March at +17
Mod
Joyce, February was 11...and March will be 10. Don't cheat yourself 'cause you are doing really well!

ooh thank you. I for some reason had 12 down. cool.
I had my numbers correct at the top at least so my roll over numbers are okay.
Mod
April will be a travel month for me. I have 7 Kindle books and two owned books in my plan to read while traveling. My totals for April are 9 + 7 carryover = 16.
I seem to have gone backwards in March with only 4 read. That makes my new goal 9 (April) + 16 (rollover) = 25. Yikes!
Mod
April read: 1 + 1 in progress
rollover: 7
+
previous rollover read: 4 + 1 in progress
current rollover: 2
=
total rollover for May: 9
I also travelled in April and read a lot less than usual. But I managed to still do really well for this particular challenge with 8! My rollover is 14
Mod
Since I didn't read any of my carryover, I now have 5 from May + 9 carryover in May = 14
That means June is 7+14 or 21 books! I need to look for short books!
April and May was terrible for me. I have 22 to roll over for June. Ugh!
My rollover went down for the first timeRead: 9
Rollover: 13
Joyce wrote: "April and May was terrible for me. I have 22 to roll over for June. Ugh!"I'm not far behind you with 19! April was good by May not as good... At least the monthly goals are getting lower and lower which helps!!
I'm rolling over 18 to April. I feel okay about that as I have a good chunk of books picked for June and July.
Mod
I feel like I can breathe now. I'm so far behind on TBR Bender that it will be nice to have more leeway to read books that aren't needed for this one.
I only read 4 so my rollover is back to 16
Mod
Well, I'm still rolling over 18, but I'm exactly halfway through the total number of books, so I guess that's fine enough. I've got an ambitious 10 books picked for July.
Mod
I have 3 in progress for July, so I am not counting them in my carryover. Read only 1.
Carryover: 3 + 17 = 20.
My plan: I own 6, and 5 of those are short Kindle books. The other is over 500 pages and I have only read about 0.1 of it. I am determined to finish it next month...finally! Another 2 are short books (under 250 pages). Finally one is a library book that I have listed as currently reading but have yet to start. Since it has an August publication date, I will wait to read it next month, but it must be turned in by 8/10 as it has no further renewals. That makes 9. And, I just found one more for an even 10 to commit to reading in August.

I am pleased. I read more than the monthly goal and made a dent in the rollover. Nice. Now to keep that momentum going.

For Each Month, read a book that was either:
1. added to TBR in that month (before 2025), OR
2. published in that month (any year)
GOALS for each month will be
12 books in January
11 books in February
10 books in March
...
2 books in November
1 book in December
BUT, if you don't meet your GOAL for that month, the balance will rollover onto the next month & accumulate over the year
Example:
Goal for March is 10.
Read only 7 books
Balance left 3 books being rolled over to April.
So for April, you have to read 9 (April's goal) + 3 (rollover from March) = 12 books. All 12 books should be April's tasks: added to TBR in April (before 2022) and/or published in April (any year).
If there's a balance left in April (ie. say only read 10 books), it is to be rolled over to May, again same guideline.
